Industrial engineering, operations research, and systems engineering are fields of study intended for individuals who are interested in analyzing and formulating abstract models of complex systems with the intention of improving system performance. Unlike traditional disciplines in engineering and the mathematical sciences, the fields address the role of the human decision-maker as key contributor to the inherent complexity of systems and primary benefactor of the analyses.

Master of Science in Supply Chain Engineering

Georgia Tech Master's in Supply Chain Engineering

Beyond the MBA: A Faster and More Focused Path to a Global Supply Chain Career

The Georgia Tech Master of Science in Supply Chain Engineering is an engineering graduate degree program designed to meet growing industry demand for business-savvy engineers who can design and synchronize highly complex global supply chains. The program's intensive curriculum delivers academic knowledge in analytic methods, supply chain engineering, and enterprise management while building professional practice skills and real-world industry experience, all leading to a respected engineering graduate degree from the #1 ranked Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE).

Program applicants may come from a wide range of academic, business, and geographical backgrounds, but they will share a common motivation: to pursue a highly focused graduate education experience in supply chain engineering. Most graduates immediately head to career opportunities with global enterprises, but the program is also useful preparation for follow-on research study in an engineering or business Ph.D. program focused on supply chain challenges.

The M.S. in Supply Chain Engineering degree program is offered only at Georgia Tech's Atlanta campus, and is most suitable for full-time students. Full-time students can complete the program in 12 months (Fall-Spring-Summer), while those who wish to pursue a full-time summer internship may take up to 16 months (Fall-Spring-Fall). As a STEM-designated program, international students who complete the degree are eligible for the extended Optional Practical Training (OPT) F-1 visa extension which allows a total of 29 months of pre- and post-completion training.
